Nov 16, 2002 This beer was one of the 12 beers featured in a beer tasting event I hosted back in April. The avg. rating among the 10 participants was 7.1 out of 10 (my rating was a 7 out of 10). Not having started rating beers using the ratebeer method and scale at that point, I just had another opportunity to do so. Heavy malt and moderate hop aroma. Avg. sized, creamy, off-white head which mostly diminishes. Murky, reddish-brown body. Flavor is heavy malt in the initial moutfeel with moderate bitter notes becoming apparent as it warms. Long in duration, medium to full bodied. Very tasty.

Feb 23, 2009 12 oz bottle from a Winter Beer 10 Pack purchased at World Market for me by my wife. Pour is clear golden brown with a full one inch off white head. Decent amount of carbonation visible. Aroma of hazel nut semi-sweet maltiness, touch of dusty cardboard present. Taste is the nutty malt of the nose plus throat lozenge cherry sweetness. Sweet was quite disjointed from the nuttiness. Finish is quick and crisp. Palate is thin-medium, clean and nicely drinkable. Decent enough brown.

Sep 5, 2005 bottle. Solid earthy brown with a thin white head. The aroma is also fairly thin with some barley. It’s a smooth malty brew, but with little else really going on.

May 14, 2008 Milky brown with thin off-white head. Nutty aroma with toffee and other assorted sweet malts. Taste is malty and semi-nutty with a bunch of not so good adjectives to follow… thin, metallic, sour, semi-bland. Semi-dry finish.
